Ravenstow is a canvas workshop that focuses on producing high quality canvas tents and products. Historical canvas architecture is my passion!

Our main focus is on reproducing historical tents and dwellings. Our tents house artisans, craftspeople, lost trades, blacksmiths, equestrians, Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, Romans, Medieval and WW enactors for public and immersive events. From design, drafting, construction and delivery, we are unique in the Australian market, being able to offer Australian Made canvas tents.

My name is Talisien. I am the sole trader owner and designer within Ravenstow. I have been constructing canvas tents for over 24 years. I started my sewing career working for two local Armidale soft furnishings businesses, Heather Broach and Julie’s curtain world, then gained further experience in industrial canvas and vinyl products within a Brisbane canvas & vinyl workshop, Brendal.

Ravenstow is the only Australian business that manufactures these tent works. I am registered with ‘Australian Made’ and strive to support other Australian companies such as Australia canvas manufacturer Defab. All my competitors import tents or are located overseas. There are artisans within Australia who will make these tents as a one-off or for personal endeavour but my workshop is currently the only one available to order.
